OWNER CONSENT
◘ Both owners MUST publically agree to the breeding before any colorist will take on the request.
This may be done in the [ Breeding Agreement Thread ].
◘ This does not apply to mixer-type breedings, where the owners do not pick the pairings.
HOMING DEADLINES
◘ Owners must PM their colorist back within 1 WEEK of receiving their cauldrons/buns as to who is getting which baby (yourselves and any friends). If you need more time please PM the colorist ANYWAY and let them know this!
◘ If you still have extras let the colorist know what you plan to do with them, i.e a thread giveaway, game, contest, whatever. The colorist will okay it with Eauo or the shop Manager.
◘ If, after 1 month, the extras have not been homed the shop will assume custody of them and hold an event for you.
◘ There IS an option on the form to have the shop automatically home any extras leftover if you want!
◘ Most importantly, please be respectful to the colorist and the staff and be punctual. We do not like having to chase after owners to ask them what is going on with the pets that we have colored.
General Rules
◘ Breeding can only occur between two adult Hounds, or two adult Familiars.
◘ Both parents must be a certed adult for 2 weeks before they are eligible to breed.
◘ Owners may win a max of three slots per month. This may be three breedings, three customs, or any combination thereof, but cannot exceed three.
◘ Each owner may keep one cauldron/bun. If you cannot find a home for the rest, the shop can home them for you.
◘ Any gender combination is accepted: m/f, f/f or m/m. This is because Hounds and Familiars are more spirit/magic based than purely physical.
◘ Hound/Familiar couples are not allowed. However, Familiars can interbreed across species.
◘ Colorists may combine any two Hound babies as twins at their discretion; these will always be on different poses.
◘ Let's try to keep the gene-pool clear. Inbreeding is severely frowned upon, though we're not going to track down the family's tree, either.
Determining Poses
◘ Familiar species are randomly determined by the colorist.
◘ Non-winged Hound poses are randomly determined by the colorist.
◘ Non-winged/Winged couples have a 10% chance of babies being winged as well.
◘ Winged/Winged couples have a 30% chance of babies being winged.
Litter Sizes
◘ Familiar breedings will result in 2-3 buns, no more and no less.
◘ Hounds may have 2-3 cauldrons per breeding, minimum. Litters may have a MAX of 5 after all bonuses below are applied.
Additional Cauldrons
◘ In addition to the minimum 2-3 cauldrons you may boost your chances of a larger litter by:
- An automatic 10% chance for an extra baby.
- Gifting to a newbie (1 hound or less; username must be provided BEFORE the coloring begins).
- One complete RP between the parent hounds (20 posts, minimum. You may combine RPs to meet the minimum, but at least one of these must be complete). The RP must be recent [3 months or less] to be counted.
- Roleplay bonus cannot be used if both hounds are owned by the same person.
Pricing
Regular Breedings - Hounds: 1.5b | Familiars: 500m
Generally these are unedited, but colorists may choose to pass down some edits if they desire. If you definitely want edits to be passed down, your best option is to choose an edited breeding.
Adult-Only Breedings - Hounds: 1b | Familiars: 400m
These are non-growing breedings, meaning you only get the cauldron and adult stage. These are good for people who do not like to wait for their breedings to grow up! Ask your colorist about availability.
Edited Breedings - Varies, see below.
With these, at least one offspring is guaranteed to have edits from one or both parents. Some edits may not be heritable (such as one-time only special event edits), and if that is the case we will let you know. Note that edits may change appearance/size/location as they are passed on. Any and all edits will appear once the Hound/Familiar has reached the adult stage. Pets with edits heavier than the slot you wish to apply for can still apply for a lesser slot if one or both of the parents also has smaller edits that can be passed down (such as the apple blossom edit). Alternatively, a pet that ONLY has heavy edits can still apply for a lesser slot and receive lesser custom edits on the offspring (such as a pet with an elaborate hair edit passing on a more simple hair edit) -- though the type and style of the custom edit will be up to the colorist.
- All prices are in addition to the base price.
Tiny - 500m
Simple - 1b
Moderate - 2.5b
Heavy - 5b
Extreme - 10b
